Hello Anthony, Thanks very much for your reply.
Yes, I tried this in the routes,py file in the web2py folder on Pythonanywhere and tried several other ways from the link you posted but nothing changed in the URL. I think even this should work too, but it doesn't: routers = dict( BASE = dict(default_application='myapp'),) I must be missing something.
